In reading interventions of outside agencies to assist in foreign affairs such as these the question poses to why do we exactly intervene? I know that the country was in stress while rebel armies may have threatened to take over the government but is that not the nature of the beast. If someone were to come in and take over that nation or state I feel that it is kind of their right to do so. Instead the UN interferes for the sake of keeping cicil union with the nation and themselves. Did you find that the congolese has certain benefits that would have drawn the UN to help them?
